The Warren County Board of Supervisors approved a package of resolutions this week that amended the county’s 2025 budget, authorized capital projects and appropriated funds for new purchases and contract obligations. The measures included supplemental appropriations, budget changes for county departments, funding to cover a sheriff’s collective-bargaining agreement, adoption of the Adirondack Community College operating budget for fiscal year 2025–26, and funds to procure a county time-management system.

The actions were taken as a group during the board meeting; the clerk and chair recorded each resolution as passed. The transcript identifies the measures by number and short descriptions, including Resolution 229 (a supplemental appropriation), Resolution 230 (amending the 2025 county budget), Resolution 259 (changes to the county salary compensation plan), Resolution 265 (Adirondack Community College operating budget for fiscal year 2025–26), Resolution 266 (appropriation to the sheriff’s office to cover costs tied to a collective-bargaining agreement), Resolution 267 (increasing capital project H-411 for road replacement), Resolution 269 (establishing capital project number 8444), Resolution 271 (appropriation for the treasurer’s office for an agreement with the “3 plus 1 company”), Resolution 273 (appropriation to procure a county/state time system) and Resolution 274 (establishing capital project number 8445 for the time-management system).

Why it matters: the package reallocates county funds and authorizes capital spending that will affect departmental budgets, public-safety payroll costs and information-technology procurement. For example, the transcript records a resolution authorizing appropriation from the general fund balance to the sheriff’s office budget to cover collective-bargaining costs, and separate items that create or increase capital projects tied to road work and a county time-management system.

Most measures were recorded as approved by the board during roll-call votes. The transcript includes the clerk or presiding officer calling each supervisor by name and recording “Yes” responses; several resolutions are noted in the transcript as having “passed with 913 votes in favor” or similar phrasing (these tallies are transcribed exactly as spoken in the meeting record). The transcript does not include extended debate on the measures, and no amendments or failed motions were recorded for these items.

What the transcript does not specify
- Exact dollar amounts for the appropriations, transfers or capital-project increases were not read into the portions of the transcript provided and therefore are not reported here.
- Movers and seconders for the motions are not specified in the transcript excerpts provided; the roll-call answers are recorded, but the record as supplied does not identify who moved or seconded each resolution.

Next steps and implementation
- Several items authorize procurement or the creation/increase of capital projects; further departmental steps, contracting and procurement processes will be required before work begins. The transcript records the board’s approvals but does not provide implementation timelines or vendor contract details.

Speakers in the record relevant to this article: Chairman Trevor Garrity; Supervisor Conover; Supervisor Mayday; Supervisor Dimond; Supervisor Gilligan; Supervisor Turner; Supervisor Bruno; Supervisor Driscoll; Supervisor DeRasi; Supervisor Bean; Supervisor Merlino; Supervisor Stroud; Supervisor Strainer; Supervisor Runyon. The transcript primarily records roll-call votes and the chair’s announcement of passage for these items.

Ending: The board’s approvals allow county departments to proceed with budgeting and procurement steps authorized by the resolutions. Because specific dollar amounts and contracting details were not included in the supplied transcript excerpts, departmental staff are the next likely source for precise implementation schedules and spending figures.
